The restaurants were understaffed for some reason... - Review of Lake Lawn Resort

We had a fun family stay at Lake Lawn Resort over Labor Day. The property is huge so bring your walking shoes, you can walk the entire resort indoors if the weather is less than ideal. Although I knew they were almost completely booked for the weekend we never felt crowded. The rooms in Norwood have been remodeled and are nice yet have maintained that comfy cabin feel. In a loft suite we had a fridge, ice maker and microwave as well as the typical hair dryer, iron and ironing board. We had three bathrooms, all with showers and one with a tub. One of the beds seemed to have a plastic mattress pad on it which made for loud sleeping. As another reviewer commented, we could hear the guests in the next room pretty clearly. The pools were clean. Staff was constantly keeping the property maintained. Housekeeping does come around early but will come back in the afternoon if requested. Some in our group rented kayaks and had a lot of fun. There was a play area with bounce houses set up for the kids due to the holiday weekend.

The restaurants were understaffed for some reason which was a bit of a drag. There were three weddings on the property, one of which we attended. No reason to be understaffed with that many big events going on. Food service at the wedding was very slow. Food service the following morning for breakfast took about an hour and a half. The food was good, but not worth that long of a wait.

Hard to find much wrong with this pretty old school lake front resort. Nice clean rooms, excellent activities for kids, and easy access from Milwaulke. If you have children I would definitely get a Loft Room. Kids love the bunkbeds and gaming chairs. Indoor pool was one of the nicest I have seen. It was clean and well ventilated. Outdoor pools were a little chilly, but they were fine when the sun was out. My only complaints are as follows: Resort is HUGE. You really have to walk a lot to get anywhere. Older people might have a hard time getting around. The cheap plastic chaise lounges by the pool could use an update. The smaller pool closer to the Water Sports center actually had an outdoor jacuzzi and a slightly warmer pool. My only other issue was with the food. No real healthy options. Hard to ear fried food twice a day. We ended up driving to Lake Geneva for other dining options. Otherwise this is a great resort for families or large groups. Grounds are great and everything is clean.

Room Tip: With kids spring for the Loft Room. A bunkbed upstairs and two Queens downstairs.

We recently returned to Lake Lawn for a stay with our grandchildren. We had heard that the resort had fallen on hard times and closed. We were happy to see that it reopened and decided to try it. We were amazed at the renovations and were in a loft room in the Norwood lodge. The room was fantastic with a king on the first floor and two twins up. The kids loved their own loft area with their own bathroom with shower. We had a bathroom on the first level too. The mini fridge and microwave are a great touch. The balcony had 2 rockers and a table. The windows in the unit open, and we did not need air conditioning for 2 days. It is nice that the buildings are connected by hallways and if the weather is bad, you won't have to brave the elements. The indoor and outdoor pools are very nice and well maintained. The 3 restaurants provide a choice of formal dining, casual dining and a pizza parlor. It was nice to be at a resort with many amenities. We will definitely return.

Our family (wife and a 3 year old) recently attended a wedding and stayed at this resort. We only stayed two nights but really enjoyed the stay. The resort is layed out in a big circle with about 8 buildings all connected by indoor walkways, only a couple buildings have lake views. Although we had a courtyard view, our son really enjoyed watching all the chipmunks and squirrels run around the lawn eating nuts from our patio chairs. If not booking a lake view make sure you ask for courtyard view, the other option is parking lot. The units are two stories and we were happy to be on the ground floor. The room had a microwave and minifridge so I went to the nearby store (1/2 mile away) and bought some milk, toddler snacks and adult beverages. They do have a little store on site and the prices and selection aren't too bad. The door to the patio takes the same key card so we ended up coming and going via the back door more than the front. They have a nice buffet restaurant, a snack bar, coffee bar and a lakeside bar. The snack bar is like any fast food beach bar, fried foods, etc. As for the buffet restaurant we really enjoyed the Sunday Brunch but you had to be lucky with your timing, they had a hard time keeping some items stocked on the buffet. We didn't try the coffee shop but the also had sweets and pizza. The have both an indoor and outdoor pool, both very nice. They are a little lacking in keeping towels stocked for the outside pool. They have a lakeside fire pit that they light every night and at the nearby snack/cocktail bar you can buy S'more kits for $2. Our 3 year enjoyed burning the stick more than eating the S'mores. About 100 yards down the lakefront we found a small playground, mini golf and frisby golf course. They also have regular golf course but I didn't have time to play. From a distance the fairways and greens looked to be in great condition. In the end we were glad that a family wedding brought us to a place that we normally wouldn't vacation (northern climate). We had an enjoyable relaxing vacation.

The Lake Lawn Resort is a very nice place to get a way from the big city life and hussle and bussle of every day life. My Wife wanted to go to Lake Geneva while searching for a Hotel we found this Resort. All I can say is wish we had more time to spend a few more days just laying around the pool, sitting my the lake. Boat Rentals were available we wish we had rented one now. It is worth every penny to stay here. The food was awesome too at all the resturants on the resorts. Room service was awesome too. We will be returning soon.
